#1 Its time we removed our Turkish airbase to somewhere in Greece and responded in kind as Trump is an expert at doing, to this kind of provocation.

#4 The Canadians could get some of our embassy staff out of Teheran, but DoD ~~won't~~ can't get our people out of Turkey. Took Mount Penatubo to finally override the obstruction of the generals to get us out of the Philippines.

#7 When the statement about the 30,000-strong Kurdish force was made, I thought they were going to drive to the Mediterranean Sea with American air cover. Without an outlet to the sea, either we will permanently be subsidizing them, or they will eventually surrender to the Syrian government.

Exactly. At this point a Federal State agreement (see Austro-Hungarian Empire) with Assad's Syria -OR- being annexed into the Neo-Ottoman Empire seem the most likely end result. The Assads, at least, don't seem to think that 'The only good Kurd is a dead Kurd'.

#9 Was it a stern warning because it emerged from his stern?
